forums think the middleman makes exorbitant prof its at the expense of the producers of farm products reports received after the last broadcast on marketing indicated that most forums believe too large a share of profits goes to the mid dleman and that he is interested solely in sp the price as far as possible between th pr and consumer hornby forum pointed out that until farmers are able to

longer are using the bell to get in at first more mem bers were forgetting to bring their keys than were actualy using them this is one of the best ideas that ever came up in the branch it will prove its worth many times over and it also means less work for the steward and caretaker who before tha advent of the key system had to keep a very sharp eye out for unauthorized persons wandering in

see the television or play bil liards as long as they observe the rules and sign their guests ml what the executive and members object to is the habit of absolute strangers unaccompanied and unknown by any member wandering lh and us- 1ng the room this happily with the advent of the keys is pretty well a thing ot the past d6nt forget the monthly meeting to be held tomorrow night all members are
